Correct Answer: intermittent


Solution : The fourth option is the correct choice.

The word " interminable " means endless or seemingly without end. The antonym " intermittent " means occurring at irregular intervals, suggesting stops or breaks. It contrasts with the idea of a continuous and seemingly endless struggle.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

  • Overwhelming: It implies something being too much or overpowering.
  • Inappropriate: Not suitable or fitting for the context.
  • Unsustainable: Not able to be maintained over the long term.

Therefore, the correct answer is intermittent.
